Distracted Driving Accidents

It is very difficult to remain 100% focused on driving. Whether it's in-car distractions (your children, music, cellular devices, pets, etc.) or something outside your vehicle (the scenery, vehicle traffic, other vehicles, billboards, wildlife animals, etc.), distractions occur.Unfortunately, being distracted while driving a motor vehicle is one of the most treacherous things you can do. The most frequent (62%) cause of distracted driving crashes is being lost in thought or letting your mind wander. (TeenSafe, 2018)Anything that can draw your attention away from the road is dangerous. In the Canyon Country, CA area there are plenty of distractions, and if one of them leads to you getting in a collision, you know who to call: Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC at (877) 278-6890.

Rollover Incidents

Rollovers normally occur because of the higher center of gravity in specific vehicles, especially SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) and large trucks. Rollovers can occur when a driver turns the vehicle too quickly and the vehicle's center of gravity suddenly shifts. This shift may cause the tires to suffer a loss of contact with the ground and the vehicle to flip over. For obvious reasons, rollover accidents can be exceedingly hazardous. A combined 7,488 passenger vehicle occupants perished in rollover crashes in 2016. 28% of these did not involve any other collision. (IIHS, 2018)As the level of popularity of sports utility vehicles increases, so does the percentage of SUV-related traffic collisions. Unfortunately, the death rates involving SUVs is much higher than that of other vehicles. According to a 2019 IIHS study, 42% of SUV passenger deaths occurred in rollovers while only 20% of occupant deaths in non-SUV cars occurred in rollovers. The IIHS 2018 study says that while car occupant deaths have dropped 46% since 1975, SUV occupant deaths have risen ten-fold.The physical construction of SUVs are such that they have a higher center of gravity than typical passenger cars and therefore are more vulnerable to rollovers. Since the roof structure of most vehicles is not designed to support the weight of the car, the damage sustained in a rollover can crush the roof and cause massive and catastrophic injuries to the passengers inside the vehicle.Roll-over accidents are also prevalent with large trucks and trucks with trailers (semis). The same 2019 IIHS study notes that in 2018 45% of large truck occupant deaths occurred in rollovers

Side Impact Collisions

There are two varieties of side impact collisions: the "sideswipe" and the "T-bone."Sideswipes typically occur when two (or more) cars or trucks are traveling in the same direction and the driver's side of one of the vehicles collides with the passenger side of the other vehicle. Sideswipes can cause significant damage to both vehicles, including structural issues and complications that cannot instantly be observed but could make the vehicle dangerous. Other times the dent or damage is so substantial that the car or truck is not drivable and could be a complete loss. Either way, our attorneys will guide you through the process of dealing with the insurance underwriters and any legal situations that may arise.The other form of side impact accident is the "T-bone" and can have much more deadly results. T-bone collisions occur when the front of one vehicle strikes the side of the other vehicle (like a "T"). T-bone car accidents are almost always worse than sideswipes because the momentum in a sideswipe is more of a "glancing blow" while a T-bone transmits all of the power and momentum from one vehicle into the side of the other vehicle. The impact of a T-bone accident often translates to considerable trauma to the occupants of both vehicles, and can often result in someone's loss of life or permanent disability. If you or your family member have been the victim of any type of car accident, we want to talk to you. Our legal specialists will help you figure out if there are legal and economic solutions available to you for your pain and suffering. Call Law Offices of John C.

Head-On Collisions

Thankfully, head on accidents make up only a slight percent of traffic crashes. Head-on accidents happen most frequently in agricultural areas than urban areas, making up 13% of all rural fatal accidents, while only comprising 7% of deadly crashes in metropolitan areas. (NHTSA)Due to the intensity of almost all head-on crashes, EMTs and/or an ambulance is nearly always dispatched to the scene of the auto accident, resulting in potentially significant medical related fees as well as the liability, property damage, and damage to the motor vehicles involved. Essentially, these types of catastrophes can change the course of one's daily lifestyle physically, psychologically, and economically. You need an ally; someone who knows legal strategy and who will battle for you. If you are associated with a head-on collision - or any vehicle accident for that matter - you will want to call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC at (877) 278-6890 for a complimentary consultation.

Interstate Vehicle Accidents

High speed accidents are horrific. As a result of the laws of physics, the quicker you (or the opposing car) is moving, the better the chance for loss of vehicle control, damages, and/or bodily injury when your vehicles collide. Even a slight "tap" at high speeds can lead to a devastating consequence if it causes you to lose control of your car or truck. The seriousness of collisions on the interstate - and their higher accompanying speeds - lead to more severe accidents and therefore higher damage and insurance claims. To recover the highest settlement if you are involved in a highway (or any) accident in the Canyon Country, CA area, you should call Law Offices of John C. Ye, APLC. We can be reached by calling (877) 278-6890 or by going to our "Contact" page. Your initial discussion is absolutely free and carries no obligation, and you won't pay us anything unless we win your case and you receive a settlement.Death and potentially terminal injuries are often the result of highway accidents. Once again, due to the above average speeds and physical forces involved, the harm to vehicles and people is typically more significant than a "fender bender" on a residential street. The possible extent of highway accidents increases when you take into account all of the large trucks, commercial vehicles, semis, and tractor-trailers that seem to take over the highways. Due to their weight and lack of maneuverability, heavier trucks can't stop as quickly or make tight turns without the risk of rollover. This problem is compounded at the higher rates of speed of freeway traffic.Motorcycles are also a challenge because they frequently "open up" their throttles when they get on the highway, and they can seemingly appear from thin air.Regardless of whether it involves a truck, another passenger vehicle, or a motorcycle, highway crashes are usually catastrophic, and you need assistance if you are to recover from the physical, financial, psychological, and emotional side effects of your involvement.

Accidents Due to Weather Conditions

According to a 2019 report done by the Federal Highway Administration, about 21% of motor vehicle crashes are weather-related.

• 70% of weather related accidents happen on wet pavement
• 46% during rainfall
• 18% during snow or sleet
• 16% on snowy or slushy pavement
• 13% on icy pavement
• 3% in fog

The Weather Channel reported in 2018 that weather related vehicle accidents kill more people annually than large-scale weather disasters.
